OOTD: Color at Work

OOTD: Color at Work

Beauty, Fashion Article, Wellness
Color and I are like coconut oil and my hair. We just go together. I wear pops of color everyday to work, but I'm very aware that too much color could be a distraction. Initially I was afraid of wearing my new bright orange skinny jeans from Urban Outfitters but went for it by playing the brightness down.  I paired the jeans with an oversized jean blazer also from U.O. and a shirt from NY & Company. My necklace was also from U.O. in gold. Brown flats (from GAP) were an obvious choice for shoes as black would too dark and any other bright color would overdo it. By the end of the day I was more than comfortable in my orange jeans, lol. I'll be challenging myself more to play with color at work from now…

Side Stage with Black Star

Side Stage with Black Star

I'm a huge hip-hop fan! Although my jazz phase kept me from most of the classic hip-hop growing up, I've embraced the music in my 20s. One of my favorite groups/artists are Talib Kweli and Mos Def of Black Star. Tyi3284 let me know about a show sponsored by Live Nation in Detroit. I rarely pass up on seeing one of my favs so I had an idea of what I would wear before I had tickets! I rocked a black vest over a light brown A-tank and pink corduroys with my new shoes from Old Navy (LookBook coming soon!) My Wash 'n Go!

KG’s Salmon Croquettes

Food, Wellness
Yummmy! When I'm looking for something quick and tasty to cook that will give me a little protein, I usually opt for a croquette. My croquette isn't really mine, it's Paula's. Mrs. Dean's quick recipe doctored up = my recipe. I'm not a huge fan of bread crumbs so I substitute panko (Japanese flakes) and also add some onions, garlic, maybe even mushrooms if I have any to my mixture. After coating the mixture in panko and frying each side for 7-ish minutes I eat them alone, in my salads, atop creamy rice, etcc. etc. A drizzle of fresh lemon juice makes all the difference! Check the recipe here. Want to see how I create my version? Let me know in the comment section! XO, KG

OOTD: Hello Winter!

While shopping in Marrakech, I stumbled (yeah right) upon a Zara at the Marrakech Plaza (Aldo and Etam also had stores there). Of course I browsed and tried on almost 10 things, but in the end I decided on only this wonderful dress. I put it on hold for 2 days (store policy) before I just went for it. It's called the Fitted Checked Dress, and oh is it fitted! LOL! Perfect for Sunday morning or a business meeting, I absolutely LOVE how it feels on. I find myself wondering if I had clothing tailored for me if this is how it would feel... I had no choice but to have a photo shoot showcasing this creation in the comfort of my living room, lol. The masks on each side of me are from a…
